This is my first time trying PT with Mayo Clinic; all my other PT appointments were with a different medical clinic. I informed the physical therapist at Mayo Clinic to expect the unexpected. I was given light exercises for the first 2 weeks, including calf raises and plantar flexion with a towel or belt. Since starting 3 weeks ago, the leg has been getting visibly weaker each week. This week, we did single-leg presses. My left leg was capable of doing 10+ reps at 120 pounds, while my right leg was shaking uncontrollably after doing just 1 rep.

@nasbyevan I’m sorry to hear you’re having difficulty with one leg. Sometimes healing can be a very long process but don’t give up.
